2015 Topps Chrome Football Preview

With Panini America taking over as the NFL’s exclusive trading card partner next year, 2015 Topps Chrome Football might the last time we see the product in its current form.  Set to release just before Thanksgiving, Chrome will again offer 24 packs per box with a bounty of Refractor parallels and one on card rookie autograph per box.  You can download a final checklist below.

The rookie autographs will feature players in their new NFL uniforms with Black (# to 25), Pulsar (15), Gold (10), Red (5) and SuperFractors (1/1) at the top of the chase list.  A Hot Box Refractor will be packed in each case.

Topps is expanding the SuperFractor concept, putting more of the 1/1 cards throughout the product.

Rookie Autograph Patches will feature  an on-card autograph and multi-colored patch on chrome refractor technology.  The hobby only insert will be sequentially numbered and include, for the first time, a 1/1 SuperFractor randomly inserted into a hobby box.

Dual and Triple Rookie Autographs will pair two newcomers and be sequentially numbered. They, too, will have a SuperFractor version.

There will be Rookie and Veteran autograph variations.

2015 marks Topps’ 60^th anniversary as a football card maker and Chrome will include a special subset using designs from the past to feature veteran and rookie autographs. Each card will be numbered with more SuperFractors.

Topps will showcase the greatest wide receivers and running backs of all-time with 1,000 Yard Club Autographs and the best quarterbacks with 4,000 Yard Club signed cards.

There will be non-autographed 60^th Anniversary and Yard Club insert cards as well.

Chrome will also feature a Super Bowl 50 Die Cut insert, honoring the retired legends and veterans who have won a Super Bowl.  There will be Refractor versions numbered to 99 and Pulsar Refractors numbered to 50 as well as SuperFractors.
